BBC Radio 2 repeats Elaine Paige on Sunday audio

A scheduling error meant listeners heard the wrong second hour of Elaine Paige on Sunday on BBC Radio 2.

The second hour of the pre recorded programme was a repeat of the previous week’s edition, suggesting the wrong audio had been loaded into the system before transmission.

Listeners quickly noticed the issue and commented on social media, with some pointing out that similar problems have happened before on the station.

The correct version of the programme was later uploaded to BBC Sounds, and the BBC issued an apology after the mistake was raised by listeners.

A BBC spokesperson told RadioToday: “Unfortunately, due to a scheduling error, the incorrect second hour of the show was broadcast today.

“We apologise to listeners and are currently looking into how this occurred. The correct programme is now available on BBC Sounds.”

Elaine Paige has not commented publicly on the incident.
